Gift Opening

It took all day to open presents, but the fun she had was so worth it.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We started our Christmas season with milk and cookies.

Then we moved on to large shipping boxes.

We watched Daddy clear the driveway.

And blew kisses.

Santa went a bit overboard. And the pile doubled when Grandpa and Grandma arrived.

Evelyn got all sorts of new wonderful things, including a new shopping cart to push her Baby Chloe in.

Lots of new books to read with Grandma.

A pink monkey car, that Grandpa picked out.

Some new books from Daddy too.

Evelyn loved opening presents by tearing the paper into postage stamp size pieces and handing them to whoever was closest.

Once everything was opened the tutu came off so Evelyn could play easier.

Blocks and Puzzles and Batcaves, Oh My.

It took a bit of time, but the tunnel has definitely become an exciting adventure.

Even Grandma got in on the fun.

And she made it out too.

We started out Grandma's birthday playing in the snow.

Grandma got Evelyn this sled over a year ago and it was nice they finally got to play together.

Even Aunt Abby braved the cold and ran a few laps with the sled.

Evie is becoming quite the little snow bunny.

One of these days she'll actually move when she's wearing her snow suit.

After a busy day playing with all her new toys and going out to a nice dinner, Evelyn settled in with Aunt Abby and Uncle Max to read some stories.

We had a wonderful Christmas! Evelyn was so excited she wouldn't nap at all on Christmas Day. The best gift of all, two days before Christmas, Evelyn started walking and hasn't stopped since!(Hopefully I'll get a video posted soon.) Now we're looking forward to seeing the other side of the family on the weekend.

Birthday Part 2

We had a second birthday celebration for Evelyn with more family. She got more presents and had more cake.

Evelyn was definitely getting the hang of opening presents by this point.

But she does not like having to wear a hat as she waits for cake.

She then got to celebrate Grandpa's birthday with him.

Evelyn loves opening presents!
